How can you stay off the grid, and can a PI assist you?

A recent story in the news told of a woman who was worried that her ex-boyfriend was stalking her, so she hired a private detective who did indeed find an iPhone stashed in her car, so that he could track her movements.

Of course, the success of the private detective should come as no surprise. These are people trained in techniques to find people, and to track them when necessary, so they’re going to know the obvious methods to look for.

How can you stay off the grid, and can a PI assist you?

Which raises an interesting point – have you ever considered hiring a private detective, to stop someone finding you, rather than to find someone?

Perhaps you’ve broken up with a partner and you don’t want them to contact you any longer. Or maybe your relationship with a sibling has deteriorated to such an extend that you wish to cut off all means of communication. It’s unfortunate, but these situations can occur. And if you want a complete fresh start, then a private detective can help.

They can sweep your car and property to look for any tracking or surveillance devices that a jealous ex may have hidden. Or they can teach you more about social media, and show you the trail of information you leave behind so that you can take ownership of your online presence.

Don’t misunderstand – a reliable private detective isn’t here to show you how to evade all kinds of tracking. If you’re committing a criminal act in any way, no private detective of any repute will help you find a way to disappear and cover your tracks. But if you’ve good reason to need help, consider that a private detective can aid you with lawful matters.
